I’ve tweeted @bitcoin for permission to use their bitcoin logo on a t-shirt. Waiting on a reply. If perhaps it was missed or something. Is there any other way to request permission from bitcoin.org?

It is great that you've ask first the management or the community before you used the logo of bitcoin in order for you to avoid copyright infringement just wait for further reply of the management before you used it.

It would be glad to know that some people are using bitcoin into a logo on t-shirt because if the T-shirt was done and many people buy and wore it then it would be a great strategies to attract people to go on the field of the cryptocurrency in order for them to know what cryptocurrency is and why many people are investing on it.

Maybe inform us if the T-shirt that you've doing is done and maybe our community will try to buy those T-shirt that you are designing.

if we want to use bitcoi logos on clothing or make banners with bitcoin logos, I don't think we should ask for permission on twitter @bitcoin or other similar sites because bitcoin is not protected by copyright and bitcoin is unknown, now we see a lot of people using bitcoin-themed clothes to become trendy and attract some people to know bitcoin.

Who would sue you for using bitcoin logo, the inventor is anonymous and therefore we are free to use that logo anytime we want.
I've seen a lot of people using bitcoin logo in their social media handles but they are still using it until now, so that means there is nothing to worry.

using bitcoin logo can even help spread awareness to the people as long as you use it in good purpose.

by the way the @bitcoin twitter handle has nothing to do with bitcoin. it is just someone who created that name on that platform earlier than others and the account has changed hands. the last owner was even bashing bitcoin and used to advertise an altcoin!

Can anyone just use the logo of Bitcoin without copyright infringement? As far as I know this can already be in the Creative Commons category but if you can get that special permission then much better. Or you can also modify a little and add something to the logo to make it on your own. The whole Bitcoin community will be happy to see many people using the logo to be emblazoned on any product as this can be like a free advertising for the coin. Since Bitcoin do not have an organized and centralized marketing department with a multimillion budget, mentions and uses of the logo on different products or events can be helping a lot in promoting its name and popularization of the very idea which Bitcoin is standing for.

As far as I know anyone could use the logo as fair use because or maybe no one own bitcoin in my opinion and besides there are already a lot of bitcoins logo in the internet and a lot of people is using it as a assets so I don't think they are going to sue you if you are just a small business or a small creator maybe if you are a big company. Also, you could see a lot of bitcoin shirts on the internet and we know that they just photoshop it you could create your own version of the bitcoin logo and easily called it fair use. But salute to you if you're asking for permission that's a great start following the guidelines.

I am quite surprised to see that the printing company is asking for written permission to use bitcoin logo. Bitcoin logo actually comes under creative commons license and no one owns them! This matter was also discussed earlier as well. See the thread below,

You can also get some information from the below article,

I will just tweak it a little if I were you. I have done various kinds of t-shirts, I am running a small t-shirt made to order business and there are people who orders different kinds of t-shirt that their designs are actually copied on different companies. Nevertheless I haven's still heard that one of them are being sued. Bitcoin was for the mass, means for the majority of us, only the people that are against that you have to take care of, and not the ones who supports.

as far as I know, many products have used the bitcoin logo without permission from bitcoin.org. I didn't know that the bitcoin logo was copyrighted for something commercial. Some of my friends who produce shirts, cups and hangers have used the bitcoin logo without asking permission. But I applaud you because you value art work by asking permission.

This was their response via email about the shirt.
Option A:
To move forward with your order, we need written permission from the company who owns the protected material. Here is a reference to reach out to obtain permission:
